Some of these flowers may even outlive you!
Perennials are often the flowers of choice for people who prefer a lower-maintenance garden. Unlike annuals that bloom and then die off, perennial flowers have the ability to grow back, which means you don’t need to replant them yearly.
2. Butterfly Weed For a drought-tolerant perennial, look no further than butterfly weed, an orange-colored clumping flower that earned its name for its ability to attract butterflies. Although it can take several years to establish before any blooms appear, this flower prefers full-sun and, like other milkweeds, can live up to 10 years.
5. Oriental Poppy Oriental poppies can last for decades if you treat them with care! These orange- and red-hued perennials enjoy full sun and cooler climates, and, like most poppies, are toxic to people and pets. 8. Hosta Hostas are another shade- and moist soil-loving plant that can live up to 30 years when properly maintained . They’re known for their lush and often large leaves, but they produce funnel-shaped flowers from the center of the plant, as well.
11. Coneflower Boasting a lifespan of up to 20 years, coneflowers grow well in both sunny and shady areas with well-drained soil. These lovely perennials also attract butterflies and pollinators, thanks to their large, sunflower-like blooms that come in a range of vibrant hues.
